She said the group opposes the fact that the realignment eliminated the "community school" concept. "We have a good school in Guilford that has turned out good students over the years. Why tamper with it?" Tompkins asked. Assistant Superintendent Robert W.
Murphy previously projected a need for six kindergarten classes and five first grades this fall. There are now five and four classes, respectively. Board President John F. Winn said yesterday he didn't foresee the board reconsidering the plan. However, he said the board would be willing to listen to any better ideas.
"Are we in this for public relations or are we in it for the kids? If they can come up with a plan that's better for the kids, not the parents, we'd listen to it," Winn said. The group is planning a community meeting for 7:15 p.m. Tuesday in the Guilford United Methodist Church, Main Street, Guilford. "I think the decision's been made, the board has made it's decision and I've got to follow it. We've got to get this thing moving," Superintendent Richard T.

Otsego County voted Nov. 3, 1987, to join with Montgomery and Schoharie counties to form the tri-County Authority. But the date the county could join the authority had elapsed, so the state Legislature had to approve an extension to the date the county can decide to join with the other two counties. The legislation enabling the county to join the authority passed the state Senate in February. Gov.
Mario M. Cuomo has 10 days from Tuesday to sign the legislation, said Carl F. Higgins, R-Edmeston, chairman of the Otsego County Board. Divers to search creek for evidence in burglary MARGARETVTLLE State police divers will search a section of Schoharie Creek in the Town of Gilboa today for further evidence against two men charged in a March break-in in Stamford. Paul A.
VanZile, 21, of Tompkins Hill Road, Jefferson, and James S. Cahill, 21, of Route 10, Stamford, were charged Monday with third-degree burglary, a felony, state police said. Both were arraigned before Village of Stamford Justice Michael A. Jacobs and ordered to reappear in village court June 14. Investigator Joseph Peptis said the two were charged in connection with the March 12 break-in at Catskill Craftsman Inc.
in Stamford, where about $2,000 worth of machine tools were stolen. Peptis said state police obtained a search warrant for VanZile's home and recovered a small amount of property. Information obtained during the search led to the decision to sent divers into the creek in Schoharie County. No improvement seen in injured girl, father ONEONTA A 7-year-old Oneonta girl and her father remain in critical condition in the intensive care unit of the Mary Imogene Bassett Hospital, Cooperstown, with head injuries suffered in a Memorial Day head-on car crash. Jenilyn Greenblatt and Richard Greenblatt, 47, both of 130 Chestnut Oneonta have not improved, a nursing supervisor said last night.
The driver of the car, Jenilyn's grandmother, Ruth S. Evans, 65, also of 130 Chestnut was released yesterday from the A.O. Fox Hospital in Oneonta. A family member said the three had attended the Memorial Day parade in Oneonta and were on their way to a picnic in Wells Bridge with friends. Evans apparently was distracted and drove into the path of a car driven by Gary J.
Shaw, 32, of Otego on Route 7 in Otego. He was treated and released from Fox Hospital on Monday. Charges of failure to keep right are still pending against Evans, Oneonta state police officials said yesterday.

The group is circulating a petition asking the school board to reverse its May 19 decision to bus all district kindergarten and first-grade students to Guilford. New pre-kindergarten and a transitional first-grade programs would also be housed at Guilford. Greenlawn Elementary School in Bain-bridge would then be used to house the district's second through sixth grades. Both Guilford and Greenlawn house kindergarten through grade six now. School officials expect a space shortage at Greenlawn in the fall and sought a short-term solution.
"We're all aware of the fact there is a space problem, but there are better ways to deal with the problem than having children spending an extra 40 minutes a day on the Wilmorite proposed the downtown Binghamton mall. The change in management at Dey Brothers is' a chief reason the department store chain is planning a store in Binghamton, Munley said. Dey Brothers never considered expanding to Binghamton when Allied owned the company because Allied, the owner of department store chains throughout the nation, was more interested in building in the Sunbelt, Munley said. Dey Brothers was attracted to Binghamton because it has a "very good market, which has room for more stores," Munley said. The company was also impressed with Mayor Juanita Crabb, whom Munley called one of the "more dynamic public figures" he has met.
The store would need about 350 full- and quickly. For example, he said, a $14,000 award through the state for a steamer oven is at risk. "If the board doesn't establish a central kitchen this year, say goodbye to that $14,000," he said. Shields said the site of the Meadows, the county nursing facility, as well as other options are being considered. The central kitchen would be used to prepare meals that are served to the county's elderly at nutrition sites or delivered to homes.
Meals are now prepared at a variety of sites in the county. Last night, Cheri Albrecht, director of Opportunities for Otsego, which has also been looking for a central kitchen site, said it is pursuing a number of options, includ Merchants aF msF'VeM reviews to mall plan By CHRIS STURGIS Staff Writer. Owners of buildings that would be demolished for the downtown mall yesterday expressed everything from anger to curiosity about the development proposal. Gevon Sognalian, owner of Douglass Bradley Cleaners, 11 Water said, "It's terrible." Sognalian said this was his second experience with Urban Renewal-forced business relocation and he wasn't impressed with the results of the first one in the late 1960s. "It galls me that little Mayor Crabb can dictate to all us guys just to build a monument to herself (saying) 'Mayor Juanita Crabb did this.
Mayor Juanita did he said. If the proposal becomes reality, Sognalian would move his business out of the city, he said. Urban Renewal in the early 1970s also forced the Binghamton office of the Ameri- nuLuiiiuuuc Aasuiiduuii lu lciuicuc iu 21 Washington which also is targeted: for demolition to make way for the mall, C- said Richard Jacobs, general manager of the AAA's Southern New York Auto Club. "Our reaction is that it's awfully early to determine what's going to take place," Jacobs said. Guido M.
Hennekens, owner of Henneken's Car Service, 17 Washington gave the project mixed reviews. He said he supports efforts to revitalize downtown Bing-, namton, but he was uncertain whether the project would leave another location that was as favorable for his automobile repair and used car business. Loriann Torto DellArciprete, the owner of Funzy 's, 41 Washington characterized the development plan as one that gave small business owners few choices in fighting a large corporation. She said she supports downtown devel-; opment projects, but preferred the development of something the Triple Cities doesn't already have, such as a baseball sta-See MALLPage 5B Making way The following structures would be acquired and demolished by the City of Binghamton, according to tentative plans: Automobile Association of America.

In other action, county officials heard an engineer tell them the county doesn't have the land in its 5-acre Cooperstown complex to house a new correctional facility. "It looks like a lot of land, but my opinion is to locate the jail facility off premises," said Anthony Carlisto of Ward Associates of Little Falls. Carlisto said the Meadows site might be a possibility, but questioned whether the jail facility should be so far away from the courthouse. The Meadows is about eight miles south of Cooperstown off Route 28. The county needs a 53-bed jail facility, Joseph J.
Franzese, R-Cherry Valley said. He is the chairman of the county's Buildings and Insurance Committee. Maps show the proposed downtown Binghamton mall development City mall would include Dey Brothers store PHYLLIS KLOOA OKAPHICS part-time employees, Munley said. The approximately 150 full-time employees would receive starting annual salaries of about $11,000 or $12,000 a year, he said. Dey Brothers operates four stores and plans to open a fifth in August 1989, in Wil-morite's Great Northern Mall in the Syracuse suburb of Clay.
Shoppers curious about the approximate size and contents of a Binghamton Dey Brothers store could get an idea of what to expect by visiting the chain's store in the Shoppingtown Mall in DeWitt, Munley said. Dey Brothers already has Binghamton customers, said Munley, basing his statement on the fact some Binghamton addresses are on the store's list of charge account customers. Munley said Dey Brothers is a "moderate See DEYPage 5B By CHRIS STURGIS Staff Writer Dey Brothers Inc. 's plan to open a department store in a proposed downtown Binghamton retail center represents that company's first venture outside the Syracuse metropolitan area, the company's president said yesterday. The Syracuse-based department store chain plans to open a two-story store in a proposed retail center that was unveiled by city officials yesterday.
If the retail center plan goes through, Dey's would open in the spring of 1990, said chain President Ned Munley. Dey Brothers, previously owned by Allied Stores was purchased in January by Munley and Rochester-based Wilmorite Munley said. Otsego could lose federal funds for central kitchen ing funding options. The OFO had hoped to buy the former Oneonta Dress Company in Oneonta, but the financial package did not come together. At least one county board member said yesterday he thinks the central kitchen should "be put on the back burner" while the county deals with more pressing concerns, such as overcrowding at the county's correctional facilities and mandates to upgrade the jail, the establishment of a solid waste management plan and the refurbishing of the former Great American building for office space.
"We can't do everything in this county," Charles A. Bateman, R-Cooperstown, said. He said Chenango County, which has a central kitchen, is paying more per meal than By LINDA JUMP Staff Writer. COOPERSTOWN Otsego County must find a site for a central kitchen by the end of the year if it is to keep state money awarded for equipment. Rep.
Alexander J. Shields, R-Richfield Springs, told county representatives that plans to' use the present Milford Central School, which will be abandoned next year when a new school is finished, may not be feasible. Officials of the county Office for Aging inspected the site last week and found it would require too many structural changes, he said. Shields warned the county can lose funds earmarked for the project if it doesn't move.
